I would highly recommend Amanda and her house for anybody considering a short or long stay. Amanda made me feel very welcome upon arrival and continued this throughout my stay. I found Amanda to be interesting company and a friendly and caring person and host. The house was very clean and the bed I stayed in was very comfortable which are the only things that I was worry about before arrival. There is sufficient wardrobe space in the room as well as a working TV & DVD player. The bathroom was lovely and the kitchen had everything needed. The reason I stayed over was so that I could revise for upcoming exams in the evenings after work rather than facing a long drive home. Amanda respected this and left me to it when I was revising and was available for a chat when I wasn't. Nothing bad to say about my stay. No suggested improvements.

Martin2015-05-08T00:00:00Z

Amanda is a wonderful Super Host. She has a lovely home and makes you feel welcome from the moment of enquiry. The Den room has everything you need and more. Comfortable double bed. Fresh towels. TV / DVD player and ample storage space. The modern bathroom is perfect, large walk in power shower (very good) Kitchen with everything and a fab breakfast. I booked for a week but due to personal circumstances this changed after one night. Amanda facilitated my change with ease and understanding - Thanks again I would highly recommend The den and Amanda too you all. You will find no better, that's for sure.... If ever I need a local place to stay. You will be 1st choice. Top marks

Mike2016-02-06T00:00:00Z

Amanda was a wonderful host. She made me feel very welcome and helped me settle in. The accommodation was excellent with a double bedroom, wi-fi access, flat screen TV with DVD and plenty of storage. A large wet room is available along with full breakfast facilities. The location was perfect for my commute to work and the surrounding area was beautiful. The nearby medieval town of Ormskirk has lots of amenities and I would thoroughly recommend The Den to anyone staying in the area. I have booked to return and am grateful to Amanda for making my stay so comfortable and enjoyable.

Michael2016-04-29T00:00:00Z

Amanda is a warm and welcoming host. The Den is a great place to stay and the facilities are excellent.

The snug at Wiswalls Barn is a beautiful, private, self contained apartment on two floors. Situated in rural Lancashire with stunning views over the countryside but only two minutes from the M58. The accommodation is part of a 300 year old renovated barn and it comprises private entrance, lounge, bedroom and luxury bathroom.

Although we are nestled in the middle of fields with beautiful views, we have extremely good access to local facilities.
Edge Hill university is two minutes away, as is Ormskirk. Liverpool is thirty minutes away and Southport the same. We are two minutes from the M58 and access to the motorway network.

Paula was a brilliant host, communicated with us lots in the run up to our trip and was really flexible and friendly. The Snug is super clean, cosy and attractive! There's walking paths on the doorstep, a jacuzzi bath, a big tv, lots of books, the bed is super comfy! The only extra thing we could think of is maybe a microwave as there's no kitchen. Thanks for having us!

Sarah2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

Paula's home is a true luxurious Sanctuary for any traveller, especially with a furry companion. The Apartment in the Barn is beautifully designed and decorated and should be a much higher price! Stunning surroundings and treks...peaceful nature all around and Paula is the world class hostess with the mostess! I hope to be back again this Summer!

Danielle2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Jan2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

I booked The Snug on behalf of my parents, who really enjoyed their stay. The property is both charming and unique. Great for a quiet break in the country.

Penny2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Paula went over and above as a host. Not only is the snug so cozy and well-equipped, there is the most amazing jacuzzi bath and a bed for the best night's sleep I've had in months. We knocked on Paula late on to ask to borrow an HDMI cable and they brought one over! Amazing place, amazing host.

Elaine2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

The converted barn accommodation was top shelf. We were so disappointed we did not book for longer. Could not find a single fault with place. Also Paula was an excellent and very friendly host. Its a great overnighter for spending a day or 2 in beautiful Liverpool. We will recommend Paula's place to friends.

We stayed Friday - Sunday. We were looking for somewhere that was close enough drive to Liverpool without being in the city and this was perfect. The accommodation and surrounding area is beautiful. Paula and Sean were very welcoming and being next door were on hand if anything was needed, not that it was as the accommodation was well equipped, including a fridge full of breakfast things. Ormskirk town was a 10 minute drive away, and we also went to The Ship in nearby Lathom which was lovely, and took a long walk by the canals which was really pleasant. Given that within a 25 minute drive you are back in Liverpool this was a great location. We'd highly recommend this accommodation and would happily book again next time we are up that way.

Paul was a friendly, helpful host. I didn't end up needing his accommodation but he was very kind & understanding.

Robert2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

A cosy night in quiet surroundings. Loved the open window and fresh air.

Sandra2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

This is a very nice house with lovely hosts who are very welcoming. The bathroom is very big. I had a very nice stay here. The only drawback is the wifi which is slow and not suitable for streaming

Patrick2016-03-07T00:00:00Z

Great place - handy for Edge Hill university. Julie and Paul were great hosts and were very patient when I got a little navigationally embarrassed (check that (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps is taking you to Moss Ln in Bickerstaff, not Moss Ln in Burscough...). Would highly recommend. Thanks! See you in the future.

Chris2016-09-09T00:00:00Z

Its a lovely house, with many opportunities, which we unfortunately did not use as we only stayd there for one night. Julie and Paul were very nice hosts. We can only recommend their place. Lotte and Steen

Steen2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Julie is an extremely nice host and the room is comfortable and very clean. Also, the English breakfast was the best we ever had in the UK. I Would definitely recommend this place.

Bathroom with bath and shower, kitchen, and living/dining room. There is also a front and back garden, garage, and front and rear driveways, so parking is plentiful.

Jonathan is a great lad, easy to plan and have a chat with. His house is spotless and the room is large with a very comfortable bed. A bargin if you ask me!

Paul & Julie were superb hosts, who really make you feel welcome and go above and beyond expectations. Paul regularly communicated with us to ensure we find the place and even offered to arrange transport for us. Brilliant and will definitely be staying with you again, thank you!

Rajiv2016-04-10T00:00:00Z

The house was beautiful. It was bigger than expected, as was the room, and there were three rooms let to guests. However, it was very quiet. Julie was very helpful and provided a good basic breakfast. It was a bit tricky to find, especially in the dark, but her husband came out and waved to us to direct us to the driveway.

The place was very comfortable and clean, as expected. Julie is a very kind host. Five stars from me!

Stacey2017-03-03T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay at Delmere. It was easy to find and well located near to Ormskirk and Burscough. The house was spacious, clean and well equipped. It was warm and welcoming when we arrived and felt like "home from home". Everything was easy to use and explained clearly. I would recommend this property & the hosts and we would happily stay here again when we visit Lancashire next time.

Helen2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Great kitchen-diner for family breakfasts and comfortable bedrooms with lots of storage between us, one en-suite. There's parking for two cars on the drive and a quick journey to Ormskirk station to get the train into Liverpool.
